Tertiary students need 30,000 jobs nationwide

Student Job Search urgently needs 30,000 jobs
nationwide to satisfy demand from the thousands of tertiary
students who finish studying over the next month.

The
organisation is calling on employers who may be delaying
summer employment positions to bring them forward.

“No
student wants to be jobless at this time of the year.
Summer employment is crucial to the financial survival of
tertiary students and their ability to return to study,”
says Andrew Kirton, National Chairperson of Student Job
Search (SJS).

“Some employers may not realise how early
tertiary students finish studying. We already have 15,000
students available to fill key skill and labour shortages
faced by New Zealand businesses and we are facing
unprecedented demand for quality duration and skilled jobs
this summer,” he says.

SJS advertises all kinds of jobs
for tertiary students. From skilled, technical positions to
clerical, hospitality and retail positions, full-time,
part-time or casual, they are able to find the ideal student
to fill the gap.

“You might think you’ve got ages to beat
the Christmas rush in your business but with only a few
weeks to go it makes sense to organise extra help now. With
Christmas parties to organise, household jobs to catch up
on, and the retail rush to get through, a student employee
could be the perfect solution to help you over the next few
weeks,” says Mr Kirton.

Employers can contact SJS through
their website www.sjs.co.nz or call any one of the local
branch offices to place a job vacancy. SJS helps new
employers with every step of the employment process and can
provide expert guidance on wage rates and employment issues
as
well.
